Discussion
Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Thursday will be increasing over today's levels and extend even further into the extremely high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this increase is due in part to higher temperatures and the lower dewpoint. These overall conditions could make it a bit more difficult for those who are allergic to airborne pollens.
